mortality/aging
• although homozygous blastocysts are present at E3.5, no homozygous embryos are recovered at E8.5

embryo
• trophoblasts do not spread in a E3.5 embryo after day 3 in culture
|
• E3.5 embryos after day 3 in culture fail to either expand the inner cell mass and trophoblasts do not spread
• blastocyst are smaller than normal
• E3.5 embryos after day 1 in culture have 10% of the cells in a normal blastocyst and have enlarged nuclei by 2 times the normal diameter
